[net.general] please mail map corrections to cbosgd!map

Please mail all corrections to the USENET map (posted to net.news.map)
to cbosgd!map, not to cbosgd!mark.  This will put them in a special
mailbox where Karen and I will take care of them.

We will make a concentrated effort to keep the map up to date, and
will probably post it monthly to net.news.map or net.adm.map or
some such place.  This will make it possible to set up an entry
in your sys file to keep the current map on line at all times.

If we are to keep the map up to date, you out there in netland have
to tell us when the configuration changes.  So when a new site joins
the net, or when one of your neighboring links moves, please mail
a note to cbosgd!map.

Remember, USENET is the set of systems running netnews.  It is not the
same as UUCP net.  Also, in order to avoid counting all the local
nodes which use netnews only for local news, we don't count sites
which don't get net.all (excluding a finite number of groups is OK)
or links over which net.all doesn't pass.  If your site gets uucp
mail but does not run news, it belongs on the UUCP map but not this
map.  Hopefully within the next few months some procedures for
automatic distribution of the UUCP map will be established - Steve
Bellovin is doing the much harder job of maintaining the UUCP map.
